Mice and Cookies!!! And Trees!!! And Snow!!!

LOL...............I'm lovin' our snow!!!! It's just so pretty!!! Although having my DD experience her first drive in the snow and traffic that turned a 2 hour drive into an 8 hour drive was a weeeee bit nerve-wracking!!! But she did so well and made very wise decisions, including calling a friend to stay the night with and wait until morning to come back home and keeping in touch with us throughout the day! Awww..........she turned 18 on Thanksgiving and certainly is growing up!!!

Okay............Sooo...........are you keeping up with Limelight's 12 Days of Christmas Challenges??? Check my post below to see the list of Blogs and Challenges and awesome Prizes!!! Not to mention a PHENomenal sale......a **different** one every day of the challenges!!!!!

Well, I'm sure LOVIN' the House Mouse Monday Challenges!!! And this Monday was a Glitter Challenge!!!!!!!! Could I have ***ASKED*** for a challenge more suited to me???!!!! LOL I mean seriously!!! I am SUPPOSED to use Glitter!!!!???!!! So I used another of my new Mousies!!! Mice Snowball..........and how perfect is snow for glitter too???!!! YEP!!!! I totally had a FABulous time!!!

Ohhh do I love Melanie'sHave A Cookie stamp set!!!! I decided to practice my Copic coloring skills by making my own dp............and yes..........I still need more practice!!! LOL But I went over these cookies with 5 different colors and finally got most of the lines out!!!! LOL I also couldn't resist making a little cookie charm with some shrinky dink film.........I just love making these little charms!! I also am sooooooooo loving the Pure Luxurycardstock from Gina K!!!! It is indeed soooooooo smooth and I had no bleed through with the Copics!!! You have GOTTA try this!!!!!

Now this is my first attempt at making a whole scene card with the sponging technique. I used Gina's Tree Silhouettes. And it really is like looking up my hill on an evening!!! I also just had to add a little shrinky tree charm as a sentiment would just cover too much of the card!! I have soooo been in awe of my wonderful and talented friend Theresa Momber!!! Oh you simply MUST go check out her blog and gaze at all her wonderful cards with the most beautiful sponging technique ever!!! I want to go take lessons from her!!!! LOL It is certainly no surprise that she was asked to join the Gina K.Senior Design Team along with Cindy Lawrence. And yet another of my fabulous and gifted friend Donna Baker who recently joined Gina's Senior DT. And my awesome and very sweet friend Carolina Buchting is In The Spotlight with Gina K. for December!!! I am soooooooo excited for this upcoming release on Dec. 8!!!! I just know it's gonna be chockful of "awesomesauce"...........(a word I picked up from my DD!!!) LOL.
